THE ROSEBUDS are "Life Like" in the video for the title track to their current LP.

NEW RELEASES: Neko Case, Buddy & Julie Miller, Wild Light, Say Hi, Rush, Thin Lizzy and more are streaming in full this week via Spinner.  Bell X-1 releases Blue Lights on the Highway. Issac Hayes is streaming via AOL.

U2, whose album also comes out this week and is playing letterman every night, is the subject of a decade-spanning photo essay at TIME.com.  And I missed last week's in-depth profile from Jon Pareles in The New York Times, so maybe you did, too. BONUS: Bono called Coldplay's Chris Martin a "wanker" and a "cretin," though I think he wasn't completely serious either time.  DOUBLE-BONUS: The campaign to embarrass the members of U2 over their tax avoidance is getting its boots on.

IRAN: The Obama administration has already concluded that a diplomatic overture to Iran, one of the central promises of the president's election campaign, is unlikely to persuade Tehran to give up its nuclear ambitions.  Iran has demanded an apology from a team of visiting Hollywood actors and movie industry officials saying films such as "300" and "The Wrestler" were "insulting" to Iranians. An Internet security company claims that Iran has taken advantage of a computer security breach to obtain engineering and communications information about Marine One, Pres. Obama's helicopter, according to a report by WPXI, NBC's affiliate in Pittsburgh.
